I program in VB, VC++, perl, etc, and this sounds like a job for perl =
because its text processing capabilities are so powerful and regular =
expressions are native.  Send me the details off-list, and I'll help you =
with the regular expressions, and perhaps if it's simple enough I can =
whip up a script for you.

Subject:	Site wide search with wildcard: Clarification

Thanks for the replies on the search question, but I may not have been =
clear
enough.

Dreamweaver has a powerful search function. I can search the entire =
site,
replace without even opening the docs, but I cannot come up with a =
search
string that performs like this:

<comment tag> any content in here <end comment tag>

If I knew more about regular expressions, I might be able to come up =
with a
search string. Maybe a database building language programmer would know.
Does anyone understand the languages enough to know where I could look, =
ie,
would a VB programmer know? I know a lot of people with skills, but have =
no
idea where to start on this one.
